Damn, George Clooney!

[Blue_Roses]

Watching an interview he is giving to reporters at the post golden globe awards and one reporter asked him, "what do you think it would take to impeach George Bush?" Laughing, Clooney said ever so tactfully, "this probably isn't the best time to talk about this, but it is surely a conversation I would enjoy one on one."

be still my heart...



I don't think I've had a crush on a "movie star" since David Cassidy played Keith on the "Partridge Family," but damn...Clooney is looking oh, so fine these days.:loveya:

[merh]

1. Did you hear his acceptance speech at the Golden Globes show.

He began by making fun of Jack Abramoff, thanked him in fact, and said he didn't know what to think off parents that would name their kid Jack when their last name ends in "off".

He is gorgeous and a liberal and honest and a patriot and gorgeous.

I love George Clooney! :loveya:

[Blue_Roses]

4. Yes!

It was great! I've always thought he was cute and sexy, but now that he is older, he is coming into his "own" and I just love intelligent men:loveya:

[qnr]

2. Follow your dreams!

:) :hi:

Actually, everyone always mentions David Cassidy. I seem to remember that Bobby Sherman was just as popular back around that time. I wonder why no one admits to having liked him?

[Blue_Roses]

3. I liked Bobby Sherman too

but he didn't seem to be in the public eye as much as David Cassidy. The Partridge Family was one of those shows that captivated our young minds:evilgrin:

[merh]

7. Oh no, Bobby Sherman and his brothers in the show

"Here Comes the Brides", now that was my crush.

I remember David Soul was one of his brothers, but I don't remember the name of the elder brother.

The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle
and the hills the greenest green in Seattle

[MiwSher]

8. Robert Brown played Jason Bolt

He was my big crush back then. Oy! :woohoo:

MiwSher

[merh]

9. Are we telling our age or what?

:rofl:

Thanks for the name of both the character & actor!

And let me welcome you to DU! :hi:

[MiwSher]

35. I'll never tell!

O8) :evilgrin:

Thanks for the welcome, merh. It's good to be here. :)

MiwSher

[merh]

47. We don't have to tell

our responses in this thread give us away! ;-)

I think you will like it here. :thumbsup:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

51. You really want to hear telling your age??

I had a crush on Wally on Leave It To Beaver. I was even in his fan club and still have the autographed picture. :blush:

:hi: :pals:

[merh]

53. Awww, that is so sweet

How you doing, my friend? :hug:

[qnr]

10. Welcome to DU :)

:hi:

[MiwSher]

36. Thanks, qnr!

:hi:

MiwSher

[newyawker99]

18. Hi MiwSher!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[MiwSher]

38. Hi newyawker99!

Whatcha drinkin'? :toast:

MiwSher

[hyphenate]

37. Mine, too!

I always preferred the mature men. :)

[MiwSher]

44. Of course :D n/t

[Blue_Roses]

11. I remember that show

and since you mentioned David Soul, I did have a crush on Paul Micheal Glaser, the guy who played Starsky in "Starsky and Hutch."

Geeze...I'm really showing my age.:hide:

Maybe I'm going through mid-life crisis:dilemma:

[merh]

12. I had a crush on Baretta, how pathetic is that?

I mean, the grumpy cop with the beautiful Cuckatoo.

He was just a troubled soul. :crazy:

Little did I know how troubled he was :freak: :silly:

[Blue_Roses]

14. he didn't look so bad back then

but now--ugh!

He is indeed troubled. I thought Baretta was a cool show. I loved the bird:D

[merh]

13. Oh and do you remember the show "then came Bronson"

The guy on the motorcycle that traveled from town to town. The biker with wander lust.

I had a crush on him too! :blush:

[Blue_Roses]

15. I remember that show too!

Do you remember "Jake and the Fat Man?" I had a crush on Joe Penny--the guy who played Jake.

(Guess I have had more that a "few" movie star crushes:D)

[merh]

16. Yes, I remember Jake and the Fat Man.

Joe Penny was a cutie.

I, too, have had my share of crushes on movie stars. :blush:

[Frank Cannon]

22. Joe Penny was NOT the sexiest man on that show

I beg to differ.

[hyphenate]

41. I did too

until I heard what an ass he was. At one point, he nixed a particular actress for a guest role because she was "prettier than he was." That kind of told me he was a jerk.

[hyphenate]

40. Michael Parks

did that show.

[Scout]

20. Starsky, ohmigod

I had a HUGE crush on Paul Michael Glaser.

And just like in Here Come the Brides with Joshua played by David Soul, when it came to Hutch, well, not so much...

most blonde men just don't do it for me.

[CBHagman]

27. In case no one else has posted pictures...

Confess: It's been a long time since you've seen a picture of Bridget Hanley, hasn't it?

[Love Bug]

28. Confession: I have that sheet music

Somewhere in storage in my basement.

I had a crush on Bobby Sherman, too. Did you know he's a paramedic? Been one for years.

[CBHagman]

30. Yeah, I saw a "Where are they now" feature.

Apparently Bobby Sherman was prudent with his money during his music and TV careers and works in EMT now. I think he even donates his time.

[merh]

29. How long has it been since that show aired?

That's how long it's been since I have seen a photo of Bridget Hanley.

Thanks for the images :hi:

[hyphenate]

42. Bridget Hanley was very pretty

She married a director who did some of the Here Come the Brides episodes named E.W. Swackhammer. He was more like the Arthur Miller type--glasses and frumpy looking. But I guess she wanted the brains!

[MiwSher]

46. Ok, that really takes me back! :D n/t

[Scout]

19. I was in love with Bobby Sherman

during Here Come the Brides

I also like Jason, but Joshua not so much.

I had Bobby Sherman's album too!

[Frank Cannon]

25. From the day where a guy could wear a black choker...

and not be thought "effeminate".

[Blue_Roses]

26. LOL!

that choker! :rofl: omg! I forgot how popular those things were!

[1gobluedem]

31. Don't forget 'Getting Together'

Bobby Sherman's short-lived sitcom in which he took care of a younger sister, played by Susan Nehr (sp?) that followed the Partridge Family for at least one season. Nobody ever seems to remember it, though, I always get blank stares when I mention it.

[CBHagman]

32. Oh, I think I recall the theme song from it.

That has been dislodged from my brain for 30 years or so, and now it's BACK!!! See what you've done?

On edit: Link to IMDB entry on show:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066661/

[1gobluedem]

54. So glad you found it, though...

...I was beginning to think I imagined the whole thing!

Now the other obscure TV show I remember, early 80s called 'Open All Night' about a family that owned a convenience store in the desert. It wasn't on very long but I thought it was really funny. I guess nobody else did, though....

[LynneSin]

23. Shaun Cassidy - nuff said

Well he was my big crush until my brother made me listen to Led Zeppelin!

[Butterflies]

33. I had a thing for Richard Hatch from "The Streets of

San Francisco" after Michael Douglas left. Richard Hatch then worked on a SciFi show, but I had gotten over my crush by that time.

Now the only Richard Hatch you ever hear about is the overweight naked Survivor winner.

[Frank Cannon]

50. Hey, Richard Hatch is now on the NEW Battlestar Galactica

He plays a political prisoner/freedom fighter named Tom Zarek, and he's just awesome. He's a very important and intriguing part of that show.

That "sci-fi show" from the 70s that you're thinking of was the original Battlestar Galactica, where Hatch played the original Captain Apollo (now played by British actor Jamie Bamber).

[Butterflies]

52. I'll have to check out that new show to see how he's aged

He must be in his 50s now. Thanks! :-)

[Jack_Dawson]

5. How old are you?

How old is he?

Hmmm...

[Blue_Roses]

6. Actually...

he's EXACTLY my age :evilgrin:

[NewJeffCT]

17. How come leading Dems in Hollywod never run for office?

Mostly Hollywood Republicans seem to run - Reagan, Arnold, Sonny Bono, Eastwood, etc.

We need some of these Democrats in Hollywood to run - Clooney, Affleck, Portman

[adriennui]

21. they'd be crucified by the republicans

for living normal, fun loving lives.

[Orangepeel]

45. Clooney's father ran for congress in Kentucky

unfortunately, he didn't win

[lizziegrace]

49. Don't forget Viggo on that list

of smart, articulate, handsome and passionate Democrats.

:woohoo:

[liberalhistorian]

24. Well, I sure as hell wouldn't

mind having that one-on-one discussion with him, no siree, not at all!

And hey, I just realized this is post# 12 THOUSAND for me! Whoooo-hoooo! :party: :party: :party: :bounce: :mad: :mad:

[qnr]

34. Congratulations :) n/t

[liberalhistorian]

48. Thank you!

I can't believe I've been here almost three years now.

[caty]

39. So many men...

so little time! :evilgrin:

[Maine Mary]

43. OH My...

The man is a god! I used to love Alec Baldwin but it appears he wasn't very nice to Kim. Someone prove me wrong (about Alec) -please!
